Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (3, -2) and has a
slope of -2?​

Answer 1

y = -2x + 4.

Explanation:

Use the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Here the slope m = -2, x1 = 3 and y1 = -2 so:

y - (-2) = -2(x - 3)

y + 2 = -2x + 6

y = -2x + 4 (answer).
